Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, also known as Jandor, has made a significant political move by rejoining the All Progressives Congress (APC), after previously being the Lagos State governorship candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Jandor, along with his Lagos4Lagos Movement, resigned from the PDP and revealed his decision at a press conference in Ikeja, Lagos.
In his address, Jandor emphasized that his decision was driven by his commitment to the progress of Lagos State and the belief that unity among progressives is essential for the collective aspirations of the people. He noted that his previous engagement with the PDP during the 2023 election was fueled by a genuine desire to win and serve the people. However, he now believes that the APC provides a more effective platform to fulfill his goals of good governance for all Lagosians.
Jandor also expressed gratitude towards President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, and the President’s son, Seyi Tinubu, for their roles in making his return to the APC possible. He assured his supporters that this decision was made with the best interests of Lagos at heart and encouraged them to join him in this new political phase.
This move signifies a major shift in the Lagos political landscape and could have substantial implications for the upcoming political strategies and governance in the state. It also raises questions about party dynamics and how alliances may form within the APC moving forward.
